Response.Write

[DayWalker]

Starter question...

How can i change the font and position of the output when i use response.Write in ASP.Net? The output is always at the top left of the page.

Hi DayWalker,

 

you can use the HTML Tag.

for exsample

Response.Write("<br>") ' new Line

 

'Font Change

Response.Write("<font size=7 face=verdana color=#00ff66>")

Response.Write("My Test")

Response.Write("</font>")

Great, thanks for the help

Depending on exactly what you are trying to do, you can use another method as well:

 

Instead of using Response.Write, you can Import System.Text and use the StringBuilder to dynamically create a string of html.

 

In the VB:

 

Imports System.Text

Public myhtml As String = String.Empty

 

Dim mystring As StringBuilder = New StringBuilder()

mystring.Append("htmlhere")

mystring.Append("morehtmlhere")

myhtml = mystring.ToString

 

 

In the aspx/html, wherever you want the html and text to show up:

 

<%=myhtml%>

Are you using Response.Write() to debug or for ?

[DayWalker]

No just as a welcome note on the top of the page that will display the user logged on.eg"ref=UID"

Datahighway's syntax seems to be the easiest. I am new to ASP.

Stay away from these tags <%=myhtml%> whenever possible.

 

Simply place a Label anywhere on the page and assign some text to it.

"Stay away from these tags <%=myhtml%> whenever possible."

 

Why?

Just curious, thanks.

With the ASP.NET model it is improper to inject logic into the Web pages themselves unless it is located in a script block. More appropriately code that modifies the page should be located in a code-behind. Granted the construct "<%=<string>%>" will be converted to a literal by the ASP.NET parser, thereby effectively yielding the same end result, but with a penalty to the readability of the application's code.

thanks - that makes sense. what i hadn't realized, being pretty new to .net, is that the label tag can hold a whole string of html tags - I had always used it only for strings of text. So thanks for two answers in one!
